ref-manual/classes.rst: document the testexport class

2025-08-18T20:18:01+00:00

This class has been in OE-Core for a while but never documented in the reference manual. Add some description for it and link to the existing documentation on it.

ref-manual: classes: nativesdk: move note to appropriate section

2025-06-20T15:06:30+00:00

The nativesdk- prefix to the recipe filename should only be used when using the inherit method as the BBCLASSEXTEND method will do some magic when generating the "implicit" name of the recipe. This matches the instructions for the native class.

ref-manual: classes: reword to clarify that native/nativesdk options are exclusive

2025-06-20T15:06:30+00:00

We explain how to create a native (nativesdk) recipe in two different ways via a bullet list but reading quickly the instructions may mislead one into doing both options whereas they are incompatible. This rewords both the nativesdk and native sections so that the second bullet point starts with an Or and explicit that this applies to target recipes.

vulnerabilities/classes: remove references to cve-check text format

2025-02-28T14:51:35+00:00

The text format has been removed, so also remove references and examples using this format. Replace with examples with the JSON format.

ref-manual: move runtime-testing section to the test-manual

2025-01-09T16:41:04+00:00

In the same fashion as the previous commit ("ref-manual/packages: move ptest section to the test-manual"), move the runtime testing section of the development tasks manual to the test environment manual. Add a link to it from the test-manual/intro document.

ref-manual/packages: move ptest section to the test-manual

2025-01-09T16:41:04+00:00

[ YOCTO #15106 ] It makes more sense to document ptests in the test-manual. Since ptests are still related to packages, keep a link to ptests from packages.rst to the test-manual.

ref-manual: classes: fix bin_package description

2024-12-09T15:54:03+00:00

The previous bin_package description was confusing: it would instruct to use the git fetcher to extract the content of an RPM package using the `subpath` option - but that's not possible as the git fetcher can be used to clone a repository but not to do the extraction. Update the description by telling what it really does and what it doesn't do, and by giving an HTTPS+RPM example.
